Fangirl Extraordinaire

This man.

I could not be more proud. To fight back after looking so completely destroyed at the end of that 3rd set took every ounce of passion and determination he had in him, and in the end it was so very very close, an odd miss here and there (that stupid missed passing shot at 4-2 30-15), one or two points that could've completely changed the outcome. But he gave it everything he had when it would've been so easy to just say "well done this is yours take your trophy", especially after the past 6 matches these two have played. He looked like he had no answers but he dug deep and found something new and he made a goddam epic match of it when it could so easily have been a complete walkover. So proud.

Next time love. This match was so much closer than any last year, you so very nearly had him. Next time those odd points might just swing your way. Next time you KNOW you've got the game to take it to him. Next time you will win.

Go rest up. Have a break, get away from everything, forget about it all. Come back all guns blazing.

I fucking LOVE weekends like this. Basically? Perfect.

Since some people weren't able to see the magical trophy ceremony of win today, I thought I'd be helpful like a helpful person and stop tagging my 258913074 DC pics and go searching for vids instead (also because I want to watch it for like the whole of the off-season it will be my happy place)

( Cut for bouncing Spaniards )

ok... that was rambly... and flaily... and basically exactly what I was like the first time I watched it XD Honestly, I was bouncing off the walls, and it was just as much fun watching it through again. I love those boys more every day.

"with all due respect, we all saw how they got to the second round - they played Sweden, and Sweden had nobody"

.....delicately put there hun >.<

Ok, so it's true, but y'know, not the point. The best thing about that bit tho was Misha sat next to him looking over to the rest of the team like "...lol, did he really just say that?"

And since no Marat post is complete without pictures ( DC practice/presser pics )

I'm bored and feeling kinda meh, so I think a picspam is in order. But I can't decide what to do, so it's poll time :D

It was the most fun match I've ever watched as a Rafa fan, there was never any doubt that he was gonna win. So here is a picspam of glee (as usual, many many many pics):

( How so pretty Rafa? )

( Bonus Fedal with added giggliness )

Honestly, these pictures have just MADE my day

Nothing much happened in the singles yet other than Feli failing in the first round.

Doubles, ALL IS GOOD. Rafa and Marc got through with their team of dorableness. Andy and Mardy got through with the team of BFF. Mandy and Ross got through with their team of Britishness.

Heh, it's kinda hilarious how much more interested I am in the doubles at the moment. I am praying and hoping for Rogi to get through his first doubles, but... I'm not gonna hold my breath >.<

Anyways...
